About the Roeper School

An international leader in gifted education, Roeper guides students to become curious, engaged, and impactful members of their communities. Our two campuses serve over 550 students in preschool through Grade 12 from over 60 communities in southeast Michigan.

Academic Excellence

At Roeper, we believe in the power of each student to reach their full potential and contribute to the world in meaningful ways. Our academic curriculum emphasizes conceptual and experiential learning opportunities that facilitate specific goals for individuals guided by their intellectual and personal characteristics, needs, and interests. Our students graduate with a knowledge of how the world works and a hunger to play a meaningful role in it.

Creativity at Roeper

Gifted students need artistic avenues to express themselves as well as to promote abstract thinking and nonverbal expression. Roeper art classes provide a forum for students to express their personal identity and provide an essential outlet for introspection and sensitivity.

School Life

Our academic offerings are enriched by a variety of activities and opportunities for students to engage with one another, their school, and their communities. From a vibrant arts program to an exciting athletics department, we aim to nurture the whole child and offer a community where our students can learn, play, explore, and discover.

Thank You

Community support is essential to our success. We are grateful for all contributions of any size, which enable us to continue the mission of educating and inspiring gifted students to think as individuals and engage the world around them.

When Joseph wanted extra one-on-one time with projects or to take two science courses in one semester, he always found support from Roeper staff. “You’re not going to find many places where teachers will come in at 7am on a Saturday to help you succeed,” says Joseph. “I love Roeper. It’s been a huge part of my life.” The senior applied early decision to Yale, where he was accepted and will attend this fall. Joseph wants to pursue a pre-med program and find cures for diseases. “I know it’s a lofty goal, but I hope I can do it,” he says. “Becoming a doctor has always been my goal.” Joseph volunteers with the health clinic at his church and other Detroit based community service programs. He is also involved in debate, forensics, Model UN, student government, plays soccer and is a student rep on the Roeper Board of Trustees. He’s a #RoeperKid.
